Advanced Multi-Moment Microphysics for Precipitation and Tropical Cyclone Forecast Improvement within COAMPS

Abstract

The first major focus of this project is to implement and test a microphysics scheme capable of predicting up to three moments of hydrometeor particle size distributions (PSDs) inside the Navy s Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS). The scheme will then be applied to tropical cyclone (TC) and continental-scale severe weather predictions. The results will be verified against detailed in-situ and remote-sensing observations.
